For the 2026 model year, Chevrolet is introducing a redesigned cabin across the entire Corvette lineup, including the Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1. Updates focus on interior design, new technology integrations, and expanded customization options.
The interior now includes a revised three-screen layout. The center console features a 12.7-inch diagonal infotainment display, the driver information center expands to 14 inches, and a new 6.6-inch diagonal auxiliary touchscreen has been added to the left of the steering wheel. The center console itself has been restructured, placing key controls within easier reach. The drive mode selector has been moved adjacent to the gear selector, while a wireless phone charging pad with a retaining cover has been added below the infotainment system. The volume knob is now larger and backlit.
HVAC controls have been relocated under the center display, which opens space between the driver and passenger and allows for a new integrated grab handle on the passenger side. A USB-C port has also been added in this area. Redesigned cupholders now include ambient lighting and hand-wrapped inserts. Higher trim levels (2LT/2LZ and 3LT/3LZ) feature aluminum cupholder accents.
ZR1 models will come standard with a new carbon fiber display hood over the driver screen, while the feature will be optional on E-Ray and Z06. The new cabin materials include multiple new interior color combinations. These include an asymmetrical Jet Black and Adrenaline Red theme, a gray scheme with Habanero accents, Santorini Blue, Very Dark Atmosphere (brown with black and tan), and a customizable Ultimate Suede option. A mixed-seat configuration is also offered, combining a red Competition driver’s seat with a black GT2 passenger seat.
All 2026 Corvettes now include a custom infotainment system with Google Built-in. It allows integration of vehicle functions, voice controls, and apps such as Google Chrome, Prime Video, HBO Max, and others through Google Play. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto remain supported.
The new 6.6-inch auxiliary screen can show performance-focused metrics, including customizable layouts for the Performance Traction Management system, trip data, and various gauges. These include acceleration timers, G-force data, tire temperature and pressure, engine and transmission temperatures, and, for E-Ray models, front axle power and battery charge status. These can also be displayed through the main console screen and driver cluster.
The Performance Data Recorder system has been updated with a new interface and improved usability. It allows drivers to review real-time driving metrics and high-definition video footage. The system includes features such as speed trace analysis, side-by-side video comparisons, and performance tips based on recorded driving behavior.
A new driving mode called PTM Pro is being introduced across all Corvette models. It disables traction and electronic stability control while retaining ABS and certain front axle functions in the E-Ray. It is designed for situations where minimal electronic intervention is preferred.
A number of exterior updates and options are also included for 2026. These include an electrochromic roof panel with adjustable tint levels, a new asymmetrical center stripe in Edge Red/Carbon Flash, and the addition of body-color rocker panels for the E-Ray and as an option on the Z06. Blue brake calipers are now available beyond the ZR1 and can be ordered on the E-Ray and Z06.
Two new paint colors, Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic, are available across all models.
The ZR1’s optional ZTK performance package includes an upgraded braking system, consisting of 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers paired with carbon ceramic rotors—the largest ever on a Corvette. The E-Ray’s Charge+ function, used for battery management, has been relocated to the steering wheel.
The 2026 Corvette lineup continues to be assembled at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Kentucky, using a combination of domestic and global components.
